Knull freezes fights

LilMaddogHT

Description of the Issue:
Cosmic Fracture + Scrap Wars + Dress Code + Crumbling Armor Path in 8.1.5, the game freezes entirely when using Knull against Guillotine 2099 and I end up having to force quit/dump the app. It happened twice in a row and then I used another champion. I used Knull for the next fight against ThorRags and it was ok. Then the next fight against Guardian it happened again w/ Knull - complete freeze and had to dump the app and that's when I gave up trying to use Knull any longer for this path.

I've had occasional game freezes in fights that last 1-2 seconds but none that were permanent like this that required me to quit and dump the app and restart.

Screenshot or Video: Video below
#1 freeze was around 7:45 (Knull vs G99)
#2 freeze was around 9:23 (Knull vs G99)
#3 freeze was around 15:05 (Knull vs Guardian)

I also faced the same problem, it seems to be caused when the timer of Crumbling armor expires (look at the timer for crumbling armor when you crash). I presume because of the sheer amount of armor up, the game can't process it in time and just crashes.

I believe that it is due to having too many armor up, cause knull does not crash the game if he only has 3 armor up buffs and crumbling armor triggers.

@NIOBBB great observation. Game definitely freezed all 3 times when the Crumbling Armor time expired and tried to apply the Armor break to Knull. It did expire at the beginning of the first G99 fight but number or armors on Knull and Armor Breaks were minimal while the 3 freezes had multiple armors on Knull and multiple Armor Breaks on the opponent.

@Kabam Zibiit is this something you and the team can dig into further?

Various threads were started about the game crashing in act 8 with knull but zero action… Just a mod closing threads and referring people to the useless iOS/android crashing threads.

Mods used to combine forum threads about the same topic or bug and take action instead of just closing threads down and ignoring what’s happening. Sad what this place has become.

If Kabam were only so kind enough to at least give us a heads up on the forum that they acknowledged and were looking into this weeks ago… 🧐😞

Why should we have to check a 3rd party website when it has been reported over 10 times on the forums?? Not everyone is on the forums and I’m guessing even less people know or check out a 3rd party website.

we cant be complaining about how they are tracking the issue as well now come on guys. Where else would we report a champ being bugged? forums or support and the third party website is I am cool with its tbh more for us they are doing it and not for them they could just keep it on a private server for them

What I am not happy about is that date shows October.. so it has been acknowledged for so long but no response here.
First of all I did try checking the trello website but under the champions section who would have thought that the champion issue would be under quest issue...
Also the issue isnt totally how it is. its not only that the opposing knull is crashing the game but ours as well.
Third they really should have mentioned somewhere for us that part of it has been acknowledged.

Oh I agree with you , communication on here is pretty bad. I don’t check another website for MCoC bugs; we have a bugs forum here and it’s a struggle to get a response even if you post with all info requested. The forums used to be a place where mods would acknowledge and communicate about bugs but it’s a mess now.

The reason the bug board was created is because it's time-consuming to go through every single thread, (especially when there are multiple reporting the same issue) and say "the team is looking into it." Usually, it's addressed in a thread or two, but the bug board is now where all of that information is publicly available.

The board is an easy, one-stop shop for the community to see their issues are being addressed.
